And then at some point the policeman will be sued for not using it soon enough or whatever and the county will be sorry they went down that road.
My problem is announcing this. I think it will cause all kinds of lawsuits from the ACLU and others. Sometimes we are our worst enemy by giving to much information to the dumb public.
My town, all officers are EMTs. All EMTs are volunteers. Para Medics are dispatched and usually last on scene.
Great.The saved addict will have to break into a couple more houses to pay for the Narcan.
Interesting! I’ve only been on the scene a couple of times where an ambulance was summoned. Didn’t see any police, either time.
Isn’t administering an antidote disrespecting the free choice of the individual who has chosen to take drugs? Isn’t interfering with their free CHOICE negating their right to do as they wish with their own bodies?
Excellent !!!
If they die, then they won’t be busting my rear window to rob my house.
My thoughts exactly. The second best method is Three Strikes and no more Narcan or EMT- you’re out.
We sure as hell can. And they are not dying unnecessarily. They are committing suicide on the installment plan. I could go for Narcan once and not again for a druggee and carry it otherwise in order to detoxify an officer who has been in contact with fentanyl. An OD should perhaps be Narcanned once and receive then a printed apology for interfering with his suicide attempt and an assurance that it will not happen again.
This is genocide. Take the jobs, bring is hostile invaders, pollute the culture, destroy the families, promote degeneracy 24/7 on every mass media platform and bring in a highly addictive substance en mass—make it readily available and cheap.

and make sure the borders are open to all the drugs
A big question I have is what kind of training the deputies have to discern od from cardiac issues, blood sugar issues, respiratory issues....?
Several police forces here (Canada) use it — and it has saved LEO and first-responder lives, just as Nifster suggests. For instance: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/firefighter-paramedic-treated-with-opioid-antidote-after-exposure-to-suspected-fentanyl-1.3856239
OTOH, there is mounting evidence that addicts take greater risks, when they believe that Narcan will save them from an overdose. It works — until that one time that it doesn’t.
Yes is was orchestrated. Also which one of soros pals or obama pals owns NARCAN?
A ping to one who wants a lot more drugs made legal and more plentiful, because, as we all know, increasing supply reduces demand.
Those who use that crap have a death wish. Let ‘em have their wish.
No.
Overdose calls involve illegal drugs. Police assume ( even tho the caller probably denies it) that there are weapons around. Police have to clear the scene for EMS. Also, in rural areas without an oncall 24hr EMS service, the cops get there faster.
I am not comfortable with this decision.
Time is often of the essence with medical emergencies, and cops are (supposed to be) trained in first aid. And they can usually arrive sooner than the first aid unit.
Sorry, I mixed the names up. Should have credited ConjunctionJunction with suggesting that Narcan could protect responders.
There is Narcan all over the place where I live. It’s ridiculous. Junkies OD, someone shows up with Narcan. Many times multiple doses are given. They go to the hospital where they use valuable resources and bed space. They abuse the nurses. Often times they AMA themselves out. Where upon they start the entire cycle all over again
I’ve list all sympathy for allies and junkies who don’t want help
